1945 Bowery Bank heist

The 1945 Bowery Bank heist occurred on 31 December 1945, when Corleone crime family enforcer Aldo Trapani robbed The Bowery Bank in the Bowery section of Little Italy, New York City. Trapani bribed NYPD policeman Sam Healy, allowing for him to rob the bank without police intervention. He proceeded to shoot his way past the bank's guards before using dynamite to blow the vault open, stealing $4,000. He then made his way down Grand Street to his safehouse, stashing the stolen money. The heist was Trapani's first successful heist.
